This can be done by either installing a nightly build or building from source.</p>
<div class="section" id="installing-nightly-builds">
<span id="install-nightly-builds"></span><h2>Installing nightly builds<a class="headerlink" href="#installing-nightly-builds" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The continuous integration servers of the scikit-learn project build, test

<p>Installing a nightly build is the quickest way to:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>try a new feature that will be shipped in the next release (that is, a
feature from a pull-request that was recently merged to the master branch);</p></li>
<li><p>check whether a bug you encountered has been fixed since the last release.</p></li>

<p>Scikit-learn requires the following dependencies both at build time and at
runtime:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Python (&gt;= 3.5),</p></li>
<li><p>NumPy (&gt;= 1.11),</p></li>
<li><p>SciPy (&gt;= 0.17),</p></li>
<li><p>Joblib (&gt;= 0.11).</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Those dependencies are <strong>automatically installed by pip</strong> if they were missing
when building scikit-learn from source.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>For running on PyPy, PyPy3-v5.10+, Numpy 1.14.0+, and scipy 1.1.0+
are required. For PyPy, only installation instructions with pip apply.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="build-dependencies">
<h4>Build dependencies<a class="headerlink" href="#build-dependencies" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Building Scikit-learn also requires:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Cython &gt;= 0.28.5</p></li>
<li><p>A C/C++ compiler and a matching <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP">OpenMP</a> runtime library. See the
<a class="reference internal" href="#platform-specific-instructions"><span class="std std-ref">platform system specific instructions</span></a> for more details.</p></li>
</ul>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>If OpenMP is not supported by the compiler, the build will be done with
OpenMP functionalities disabled. This is not recommended since it will force
some estimators to run in sequential mode instead of leveraging thread-based
parallelism. Setting the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SKLEARN_FAIL_NO_OPENMP</span></code> environment variable
(before cythonization) will force the build to fail if OpenMP is not
supported.</p>
</div>
<p>Since version 0.21, scikit-learn automatically detects and use the linear
algebrea library used by SciPy <strong>at runtime</strong>. Scikit-learn has therefore no
build dependency on BLAS/LAPACK implementations such as OpenBlas, Atlas, Blis
or MKL.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="test-dependencies">
<h4>Test dependencies<a class="headerlink" href="#test-dependencies" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Running tests requires:</p>
<ul class="simple">

<h3>Building a specific version from a tag<a class="headerlink" href="#building-a-specific-version-from-a-tag" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you want to build a stable version, you can <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git</span> <span class="pre">checkout</span> <span class="pre">&lt;VERSION&gt;</span></code>
to get the code for that particular version, or download an zip archive of
the version from github.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="editable-mode">
<span id="id1"></span><h3>Editable mode<a class="headerlink" href="#editable-mode" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you run the development version, it is cumbersome to reinstall the package
each time you update the sources. Therefore it is recommended that you install
in with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span> <span class="pre">install</span> <span class="pre">--editable</span> <span class="pre">.</span></code> command, which allows you to edit the
code in-place. This builds the extension in place and creates a link to the
development directory (see <a class="reference external" href="https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#editable-installs">the pip docs</a>).</p>
<p>This is fundamentally similar to using the command <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">setup.py</span> <span class="pre">develop</span></code>
(see <a class="reference external" href="https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#development-mode">the setuptool docs</a>).
It is however preferred to use pip.</p>
<p>On Unix-like systems, you can equivalently type <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span> <span class="pre">in</span></code> from the top-level
folder. Have a look at the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Makefile</span></code> for additional utilities.</p>

<p>Here are instructions to install a working C/C++ compiler with OpenMP support
to build scikit-learn Cython extensions for each supported platform.</p>
<div class="section" id="windows">
<span id="compiler-windows"></span><h3>Windows<a class="headerlink" href="#windows" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>First, install <a class="reference external" href="https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/">Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019</a>.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>You DO NOT need to install Visual Studio 2019. You only need the “Build
Tools for Visual Studio 2019”, under “All downloads” -&gt; “Tools for Visual
Studio 2019”.</p>
</div>
<p>Secondly, find out if you are running 64-bit or 32-bit Python. The building
command depends on the architecture of the Python interpreter. You can check
the architecture by running the following in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmd</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">powershell</span></code>
console:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">python</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">c</span> <span class="s2">&quot;import struct; print(struct.calcsize(&#39;P&#39;) * 8)&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>For 64-bit Python, configure the build environment with:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">SET</span> <span class="n">DISTUTILS_USE_SDK</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">1</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio</span><span class="se">\201</span><span class="s2">9\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build</span><span class="se">\v</span><span class="s2">cvarsall.bat&quot;</span> <span class="n">x64</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Replace <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x64</span></code> by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x86</span></code> to build for 32-bit Python.</p>
<p>Please be aware that the path above might be different from user to user. The
aim is to point to the “vcvarsall.bat” file that will set the necessary

<p>The default C compiler on macOS, Apple clang (confusingly aliased as

<p>If you use the conda package manager (version &gt;= 4.7), you can install the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">compilers</span></code> meta-package from the conda-forge channel, which provides
OpenMP-enabled C/C++ compilers based on the llvm toolchain.</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>If you get any conflicting dependency error message, try commenting out
any custom conda configuration in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$HOME/.condarc</span></code> file. In
particular the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">channel_priority:</span> <span class="pre">strict</span></code> directive is known to cause
problems for this setup.</p>
</div>
<p>You can check that the custom compilers are properly installed from conda

<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">conda</span> <span class="nb">list</span> <span class="n">compilers</span> <span class="n">llvm</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">openmp</span>

</div>
<p>The compilers meta-package will automatically set custom environment
variables:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>echo $CC
echo $CXX
echo $CFLAGS
echo $CXXFLAGS
echo $LDFLAGS
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>They point to files and folders from your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sklearn-dev</span></code> conda environment
(in particular in the bin/, include/ and lib/ subfolders). For instance
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-L/path/to/conda/envs/sklearn-dev/lib</span></code> should appear in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LDFLAGS</span></code>.</p>
<p>In the log, you should see the compiled extension being built with the clang
and clang++ compilers installed by conda with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-fopenmp</span></code> command line
flag.</p>

<p>Another solution is to enable OpenMP support for the clang compiler shipped

<p>First install the macOS command line tools:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">xcode</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">select</span> <span class="o">--</span><span class="n">install</span>

<p>Finally, build scikit-learn in verbose mode (to check for the presence of the

<p>Installing scikit-learn from source without using conda requires you to have

<p>Cython and the pre-compiled wheels for the runtime dependencies (numpy, scipy

isolation from the Python packages installed via the system packager. When
using an isolated environment, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip3</span></code> should be replaced by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> in the
above commands.</p>
<p>When precompiled wheels of the runtime dependencies are not avalaible for your
architecture (e.g. ARM), you can install the system versions:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">sudo</span> <span class="n">apt</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">get</span> <span class="n">install</span> <span class="n">cython3</span> <span class="n">python3</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">numpy</span> <span class="n">python3</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">scipy</span>
